What are the possible injuries to the eyes during cycling
Cycling is a good sport, but because it is exercised in the outdoor sun, if you do not pay attention to protection, it will not achieve a good sports effect, but will easily hurt yourself, especially the protection of eyes is very important in cycling. Possible eye injuries during riding include:
1. Sunshine
Direct exposure to strong light will keep your eyes closed and affect riding safety; Glare caused by the reflection of sunlight on objects will also affect the clarity of line of sight; Ultraviolet and blue light in the sun will cause direct damage to the macula of the eye.
2. Aeolian sand
When riding, the wind blowing into the eyes is very strong, especially when the riding speed is relatively fast, it will not only make it difficult to keep the eyes open, but also make the tears evaporate quickly, making people feel uncomfortable and easy to be tired; In the long run, the human corneal epidermis will be damaged, even if you don't ride, it will sting.
3. Foreign body
Flying sand and rocks, small mosquitoes and rain during riding are foreign bodies that are easy to invade the eyes. Sometimes, even if riding glasses are worn to block the direct impact, sweat, rain and other liquids may flow into the eyes with impurities, causing irritation. The human conjunctiva has no cutin and is more sensitive than the skin. It is easy to induce the attack of allergic conjunctivitis, resulting in symptoms such as dryness, itching, severe tingling, tears and so on.
It can be seen that if you don't pay attention to protection, the danger is everywhere, especially in the process of long-distance riding, so we should pay attention to wearing good riding glasses. What's the use of riding glasses?
What are the functions of riding glasses
Riding glasses, riding helmets and magic headscarves are called three piece head protection sets. They are mainly used to protect the head. Riding glasses are mainly used to protect the eyes. Their functions are:
1. Collision avoidance
Riding glasses have good toughness, which can prevent sand, stone and flying insects from hitting the eyeball. When the front vehicle passes over the road with gravel, it often leads to the flying of gravel, especially for highway vehicles with high tire pressure and high carcass hardness. The raised gravel has a great impact. If it hits the eyes, the consequences are unimaginable. The anti-collision function of riding glasses is to prevent such accidental injury.
2. UV protection
Riding is outdoors. If you don't wear riding glasses, you can't open your eyes when the sun is big, which will affect the observation of the road ahead and may lead to a series of unsafe factors. With riding glasses, it can not only shade and sunscreen, but also have anti ultraviolet function. It is especially suitable for riding in summer and high altitude areas.
3. Wind and sand prevention
If you don't wear riding glasses for a long time, your eyes will become very dry, even red and very uncomfortable. This is mainly caused by the fast riding speed and the wind blowing into your eyes; The role of riding glasses is to prevent the wind from blowing directly against the eyes when riding at high speed, reduce the impact of air flow on the eyes, and prevent sand in the wind from invading the eyes.
The above is the function of riding glasses. If you want to ride, it is necessary to wear a pair of riding glasses.
